Chinese Criminals In California.

About one-ten;h Of the criminals In the two
state prisons in California are Chinese. But
these convicted felons bear no just proportion
to the crimes convicted by Mongolians; for
it must always be borne in mind that the
Chinese on the Pacific coast represent only
the lowest and NEST reckless class. Nine
renths Of them are coolies or virtual slaves,
half starved from birth n driven by stress
Of hunger to crime These, swarming into
Canton and Hong Kong, came over to this
country when the gold rush began, and Later,
when the Pacific railroads demanded an army
of laborers, the coolies were gathered up by
the thousand and shipped across the ocean
They were natural adventures, and it is not
strange that in the newer land they robbed
and murdered as they had done at home

the water, then prepare their food ready as
soon as they are through washing, by put

whatever is handy in the summer time, such
as mustard, lettuce, radisb, chickweed, wild
pepper grass seeds, or the leaves of any OF
them, also plantain, cabbage leaves or beet
leaves, piece Of apple; this diet is good for
birds in the summer time. They do not es.
pecially need dry seeds, but for winter either
buy bird seed, or gather hemp, mustard, pep
per grass, or most any other kind, then buy
some canary seed and mix with them, which
makes good variety. Some birds are rather

pick the hemp out of it all. But most of
them seem to love canary seed best. BY NO
means leave out clean sand or cutie bone

Sir Waller Scott, while making tour of
Ireland, stopped at Cork and visited the store
of a bookseller. Among those attracted
there by the presence of the ilustrious
author, was boy named Maclse, who plac-

three outline sketches of the author.
Going home, he selected the sketch he
thought the best. and worked at it the whole

Struck with the exquisite finish and fidelity

SlOveDly Habits OF Speech.

1t is q curious fac, that no mere school sys-
TEN has yet succeeded in making children
speak good English; probably because this
must be done chiefly through the ear, and SO
many teachers either err themselves or do
not exert enough Of positive influence TO
overcome the slovenly habits the children
bring from home Mr. Howells declares
that many Harvard graduates say II don't
know az" and though suppose the standard
there is as high as anywhere, there is no
doubt that this is true. 1t is q melancholy
fact, but have myself heard Harvard pro-
fessor say 1--WE was in his class room, and
probably the best institution in the land is
not free from like blemishes How many
teachers of public or private schools can be
guaranteed against saying, in moments of
entire familiarity, II done i" or using II
come" as past tense? How many can steer
their way with habitual accuracy between
set" and ''sat."
Yet these are not scholastic refinements,
but matters Of good-breedipg Any person
erring in these simple matters is like one
who eats with his knife or tills his chair in
company he classes himself at once among
those who have to be apologized for, who
have to be accepted after some explanation.
And even where the teacher is unexception-
able, the intimate society Of school or college
not merely coins slang and keeps it In mo-
ton, but communicates inelegancies of speech
from one to another like measles or the
whooping-cough.

He Wanted Another Bite.

Old Nelson Bettrage was bitten by rattle
snake. A physician was summoned. "Old
man, said the doctor, nothing but whisky,
and great deal of it, can do you any good"
"But, doctor, am temperance man; /
haven't touched drap Nv Ticker fur thirty
years." "All the better; the whisky will
have the more effect" A boy who had been
dispatched with jug soon returned, and the
old man, much against his will, began to
drink whisky. He was slow at first, but
after awhile he "swigged" with the appetite of
an old-tmer. WELL" said the doctor, "you
have had enough whisky now don't drink
any more" think I've got er plenty Pr
ayes, know It," "Don't yer think thar's

The old fellow sighed, looked at the Jug,
and asked: What's become NV the snake ?"
"Onc of the boys killed it," the doctor replied.
